Question
An imaginary cubical surface of side L has its edges parallel to the x-, y- and z-axes, one corner at the point x = 0, y = 0, z = 0 and the opposite corner at the point x=L, y=L, z=L. The cube is in a region of uniform electric field E⃗ =E1i^+E2j^E→=E1i^+E2j^, where E1 and E2 are positive constants. Calculate the electric flux through the cube face in the plane x = 0 and the cube face in the plane x=L. For each face the normal points out of the cube.
Calculate the electric flux through the entire cubical surface. Face the normal points out of the cube.
Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables E1, E2, and L.
